My communication style

I prioritize providing you with a safe and warm space to process difficult emotions and share your memories. I connect with compassion, non-judgmental curiosity, and light humor at times to help ease anxieties. I'm committed to deep listening and applying my training and life experience to fully understand you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my journey as a therapy client and learned how beneficial it is to have someone help you process difficult emotions and cultivate helpful perspectives during significant life struggles. I've journeyed through career changes and ultimately found my passion in helping others as a therapist.

My goals for you

We begin by understanding the topics that bring you to therapy. Your story and struggles are unique to you. We'll work together with your perspectives to define and clarify the issues at hand and what you'd like to achieve. We'll set up individualized treatment goals that work for you.

Our first session

The first session is for us to build an initial connection and help me understand your difficulty and where we should go from there. I prioritize making you feel comfortable and relaxed. We'll talk about how you've been feeling and coping, and your symptoms. If you have difficulty answering some questions, that's okay and not uncommon.
